At 10:37 p.m., Archivehive reported:
Did anyone hear two loud bangs? Cambridge Street West End Boston area.
It sounded like something falling out of the sky and then bang. Then it happened again
Sure enough, others heard them, too:
Draco: "Heard it from td garden. saw a lot of light too."
Kim Pegnato reported hearing them in Melrose. Super Guppy, too, but in Roslindale, while Chris in East Boston figured it was just some fireworks. Lauren, also in East Boston, reports they were loud enough to wake her normally chill cat and "make him glare."
Chelsea Catlette heard them in Charlestown, as did Keating, near Warren Tavern.
South Boston and the North End, too. Beacon Hill as well.
